Great contribution.  Thanks a bunch.  I think this will probably go into 
the scipy package, though.  There is already a lot of windows available 
in the scipy.signal.window function. 

The window functions that are in NumPy are there only for historical 
purposes only (i.e. compatibility with old MLab).   

On the other hand, the other thought to consider is that since we have 
window functions in NumPy already.  Let's just move them all from 
scipy.signal into NumPy.
